my interpretation of it is that the team consists of 7 players, but only 5 can play together at any one time. All players are required to play the same number of minutes.

I think you lot are reading far too much into this.

That’s the point of this thread isn’t it?

But other than in the 2nd post from furious (where he makes an excellent point), we have all been working on the basis that 5/7 of each team will be playing at any one time.

The question remains, how long will the 10 players be on the pitch. Clearly it will be longer than 35 minutes, and it could be anything up to almost infinity.

damn that longevity tech’ is good these days

1. No-one said they had to be alive all the time they were on the pitch.
2. I am assuming that being under the pitch also counts.
3. Assuming a sufficiently large impact event happens every billion years or so, this is of course nowhere near infinity, so yes, that bit is just wrong.
